Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons Continue to Warmup:
The Trail Blazers are a great team and they should be looking to get some firepower back soon with their backcourt. Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons are two of the best shooting backcourt in the game and they’re looking really healthy during warmups. The two players are out for today’s game which may be good for the Suns but those two look to return to play very soon as they look really good in warmups.
Cam Johnson Tore His Meniscus:
Cam Johnson’s knee injury is indeed quite serious as he tore his meniscus according to shams earlier today before the game.
The Phoenix Suns fear forward Cam Johnson has suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee, sources tell me and @sam_amick. Testing so far indicates the meniscus injury, and Johnson is receiving further evaluations and imaging.

Cam Johnson will be missing some time and Monty Williams alluded to the injury during pre-game over the significance of the injury.
““He’s a starter for us, that’s always a tough blow just to see a guy not be in the lineup, but that happens throughout the season. You just have to make the adjustments.”
That adjustment will be Torrey Craig as he’s been having a great season so far. We shall see how that will fair tonight against the Trail Blazers.
Duane Washington The New Dad:
Duane Washington Jr. welcomed a new baby yesterday as he was out due to personal reasons which were good reasons for missing. Washington is available and back for tonight’s game as he looks ready to go and ready to play more quality minutes with Cameron Payne out due to left foot soreness. We may see Washington make an impact sooner rather than later tonight for his team.
Tip-off begins at 7 PM at the Footprint Center
